apart beating focus hard injury italy performance rome tough wasted
Apart from the injury we've got with Josh, I'm not really going to make any changes. We must focus on beating Italy because everything will be wasted if we don't put another big performance in. Rome is a tough place to go and Italy are always hard to play against.

ball benchmark build expose games importance midfield players playing pleased quick space speed team three time trying work
I think that it's still progressing. I was pleased with the players in the autumn. In the three games we set a benchmark and it's important that we build on that. The importance is the whole team development. It's about playing with speed of ball and understanding. If we can get quick ball then the midfield combinations will have more time to work and expose the space that we're trying to attack. I was pretty pleased with the way the midfield went.

autumn based behind charlie comment crowd england gave honest issues last months side six support team year
It was a retrospective comment based on issues which arose last year and Charlie gave an honest opinion. I think the Twickenham crowd have been outstanding in the last six months and really got behind the side in the autumn internationals. I know the England support will be right behind Charlie Hodgson and the whole team this weekend.
